This data collection provides detailed tabulations of
100-percent data items from the 1990 Census of Population and Housing.
These tabulations are presented for states and their subareas in
hierarchical sequence down to the census tract or block numbering area
(BNA) level. Population items include age, race, sex, marital status,
Hispanic origin, household type, and household
relationship. Population items for Puerto Rico include persons,
families, households, sex, age, marital status, household size, and
household type. Housing items include occupancy/vacancy status,
tenure, units in structure, contract rent, meals included in rent,
value, and number of rooms in housing unit. Crosstabulations include
variables such as single year of age by sex, tenure by age of
householder, age by group quarters, aggregate value by units in
structure, and tenure by number of nonrelatives. The dataset contains
both "A" and "B" records. "A" records are provided for each
summary level in a geographic area, and are repeated for each
geographic component. "B" records repeat the same data for each
summary level/geographic component combination, but are tabulated for
each of ten categories of race and Hispanic origin.
